Dunzo with pumping.

Forevah!

Freeeedommmm!

I decided to drop my last pumping session at work last week.  When I first came back to work, I pumped 3 times per day.  After a few months, I took it down to twice a day.  Since the end of March I had taken it down to once a day.  Finally, I just got tired of it and decided to drop it completely.  I was only getting between 5-7 ounces total (when I first started I would get 12 easily).  So I didn't pump at all last week.  After a couple of days, my body adjusted so I'm not engorged or uncomfortable by the end of the day.  I don't pump at all now, ever.  I still nurse in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the day on the weekend.

I lasted 9 months, 7 of those pumping at work.  *Pats self on back*

Bye-bye, Medela!

  • It's one of the most liberating feelings. I had to physically restrain myself from throwing mine out the window after my last pump. If it weren't a $900 hospital pump, I would have. It's one of the few things I dread about having another baby.

  • Oh, it also didn't help that my dog chewed up like three pairs of pump parts and I was down to my last one, which made it that much more annoying because I had to wash the parts right after each use.  Lol.  FWP?

    I think besides the actual pumping, the having to clean parts every single time was just as annoying.  I hate cleaning pump parts!!!
